Water on a duck. Words don't really leave scars such as the events in my lifetime. I have the proverbial thick skin, as well as actual thick skin. You work with your hands for 40 years and your fingers get fat, blisters are non-existent from friction, and women say things like "you're a working man!"
My username is because I had a 3rd gen Firebird with a 3.1 V6. It was a lame duck. So I hodge podged a turbo kit together, but didn't know what tuning was about. Yeah, spin a rod bearing, come home after breaking concrete all day,laying on my back, sanding crank journals with shoelace. Go back out, and do it again. Rinse and repeat.
I've semi-retired from racing now. All the events happen on holidays and weekends. I worked at the shop all day, then work all weekend to support my family, even if it meant I had a 2hr stint in a race car. That's out of my system, and my last 2 of 4 kids are about to vacate nest.
Yeah, I am a polluter! Lol,well are.
I never had so much fun in my life as when I was enjoying motorsports. Yet, I drive a 12yr old ICE car that gets 36mpg. It has 270hp/400tq and my other 20yr old car gets 9mpg in the same conditions with 190hp/200tq.
